Fraudster operating in Cape Town

“Our Cape Chamber has advised us of a well dressed gentleman (Malawian) with a laptop who is paying printing companies in Cape Town visits claiming to be connected to the Malawian Government. He has visited a number of printers in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs.

The said gentleman is asking for quotations for the printing of high value full colour catalogues. Once these quotations are provided he promptly accepts under the proviso that a R 10 000 commission be added to the quotation. He assures the printer that the Malawian Bank has confirmed acceptance and will settle the full amount within 3 days.

The very next day he asks that he recieve 50% of his commission as he needs to extend his stay and pay his accommodation.”
